<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nby Ted Mc Carthy<\/p>\n
\n
In a momentary light where every wall
\nis white, and day waits to sink,
\nthis time in empty silence,<\/p>\n
a drunk weaving home, his t-shirt
\nblue as a boy\u2019s, carries in his head
\na clutch of speckled eggs<\/p>\n
lifted from a hedge on a morning
\nthat never was, clotheslines riotously bright,
\naerials gleaming like rocket-silver.<\/p>\n
Against the gathering hill, he threads
\nbetween pavement cracks, avoiding flowers
\nwhose names he doesn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
